Des hydathodes aux nectaires foliaires chez les plantes tropicales

Extrafloral nectaries in Combretaceae: morphology, anatomy and taxonomic significance

“…Furthermore he quotes Lundstroem's (1887) statement that in domatia a palisade layer is present and tannin absent, the opposite of which occurs in galls. Brouwer (1985) and Belin-Depoux (1989) both record the pres ence of tannins (as well as calcium oxalate crystals) in EFNs. If domatia may 'increase the liability of nerve axils to action on the part of gall-mites' (Jacobs 1966), it seems likely that EFNs would be even more effective in this regard.…”

“…These have been largely confined to various species of Terminalia and to Laguncularia racemosa (L.) C.F.Gaertn. (Von Hohnel 1882;Zimmermann 1932;Biebl & Kinzel 1965;Belin-Depoux 1978. 1989.…”

“…Glands, often situated on the leaves (foliar nectaries), are secretory organs involved in the feeding of insects, principally ants [31]. See also [32].…”

Leaf teeth in certain Salicaceae and ‘Flacourtiaceae’

“…The leaf tooth anatomy of Idesia polycarpa has been studied in detail and well illustrated with light micrographs (Belin‐Depoux, 1982) and a diagram (Belin‐Depoux, 1989: fig. 5).…”
